Role overview

The Highways Electrician or Service Operative apprenticeship at Level 3 builds on entry-level highway electrical skills, training you to work independently on more complex highway electrical installations including traffic signal systems, intelligent transport systems, and motorway communications. You will have a higher level of technical knowledge and be able to supervise and check the work of less experienced operatives. It leads to senior technician and site supervisor roles in highways electrical contracting.
